i shot up and it was too close to call i could of put one on her chin and not thort twice abut.
since i started this job iv had chest pains headacks coughing up stuff off my chest.
i think its stress from this job iv spent no time with the kids or the wife since iv got marred.
when the job started it was slowly pulling us apart.

well today i finally flipped and packed my tools and went.
I hold all the cards at the mo im the one with all the contacts the chippy for the new kitchen the sparky and the rubbish man ect ect
now i feel bad as my nan lives there too and and i walked off the job and left them too it but i needed to for my own sanity and my relationship.
as it was pulling us apart each day.

have you considered a hit on her??? plenty of terrorists looking for work at the moment. id offer to do it myself but i am crap at disposing of bodies. i never quite get rid of all the blood and these police now have phorensic psychologists and dna (not deans tiling firm) experts at their disposal so i would recommend getting it done professionally...oh and remember, if you are going to feed the body to the pigs, remove the teeth, it plays havic with their digestive system.......its all go isnt it

seriously, just trying to make you laugh, chin up..
id get your own work mate and ditch the family connection, the games hard enough without having to deal with that kind of thing...
onward, upwards and even sideways but dont go back..
best of luck, you'll be fine ;0)

Wow, that's bad mate, it must be to air it with us lot.
It's a double wammy. When a job goes wrong, which they do every now and again you will feel really bad about it. Myself and my dad are both tilers and we will get a bad job/customer once a year roughly. It is very upsetting as it's easy to take it personally, especially if you take yourself and your trade seriously. Unforetunetly your customer happens to be your mother, which makes the problem even worse.
Reading between the lines it sounds like your mums got more on her mind than just you and the job etc.
Despite what she said, you were a man about it and you had the backbone to walk away from a very awkward and traumatic situation, without making things worse.
I'd say concentrate on your family (which could be the reason, maybe she's a bit jealous that her son is not about for her?), put them first and then your mum should come round.
Good luck matey.

My Mum's great KT, up until about 1800 when she starts on her dinner with the vino as company, 1 sip and she turns into your Mum, so used to it after 30 odd years that she's forbidden to phone me once she's had a slurp, not that it matters I turn the poxy thing off most evenings. Nobody has to deal with that mate, don't tolerate crap from family that you wouldn't let friends get away with, Mum or not. You're having the last laugh going home to your own new family.
